Abstract

The present invention is entitled "Universal Surgical Guide System and Method". The present invention provides devices, systems and methods for ligament repair surgery that can be used to establish the location and trajectory of a bone tunnel in bone. An exemplary embodiment of a surgical guide for use in ligament repair surgery includes a guide arm and a carriage selectively lockable along the guide arm to define the angle of the bone tunnel. The guide arm also defines the position of the distal end of the bone tunnel. In some embodiments, the carriage is configured with a drill bit sideloaded thereinto, and the drill bit can be used to define the position of the proximal end of the bone tunnel. The present invention also provides a gauge that limits the distance that a bur that drills out of the bone tunnel can travel. The present invention also provides various other devices, systems and methods.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to systems, devices, and methods for tunneling or boring in bone, and more particularly, to ligament (e.g., anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL)) modular guides, drills Depth gauges, and components used in conjunction with this guide and gauge. Background technique [0002] Ligaments are tough bands of tissue that connect the ends of bones and joints, or support or hold organs in place in the body. Ligaments are usually composed of thicker strands of parallel or closely interlaced white dense fibrous tissue that is pliable and flexible but not significantly elongated. The anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments (ie, ACL and PCL) are two well-known ligaments that extend between the proximal end of the tibia and the distal end of the femur. The ACL and PCL work synergistically with other ligaments and soft tissues to achieve both static and dynamic stabilization of the knee. [0003] L...
